Bengals Tight end Dan Coats’ problems with drops and ball security have gotten him demoted.

On this week’s depth chart, John paul Foschi has moved ahead of Coats. After injuries to Reggie Kelly and Ben Utecht in training camp, Foschi was signed by the Bengals on Aug. 17 after opening training camp with Oakland.

Foschi, who is in his fourth year, has eight receptions for 74 yards, including a 3-yard TD in last week’s win over Chicago. His best game was in Week 5 at Cleveland with six catches for 65 yards.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
